I’ve completed the initial design for VM/Lua’s movement commands. As you’ll see in this video, they will be handy for getting around maps without completing them in a linear fashion (very important if you value your time). Sorry in advance if you can’t play flash movies :C but I think you can download from the title link as an mp4 and play that.
I mention a “co-op Lua map” or something during the video; by this, I actually meant to say that you could be running the VM script in a co-op setting, so you can texture with some friends.
With the notion of a Visual Mode done in Aleph One itself (via Lua script) has come some confusion. While both Treellama and I throw control scheme ideas out there every now and then, I have never written them down. Until now! I’ve tried to come up with logical and comfortable controls for using a visual mode inside Aleph One. I’ve linked to the temporary location of these ideas in the title.
Loyal readers (especially experienced mappers), give me feedback so I can see what I’m missing or what won’t work for you. With some luck and help, VM/Lua will be as intuitive as possible.
